Messi spotted in training ahead of PSG's clash with relegation-threatened Ajaccio.
As Paris Saint-Germain aim to secure their six-point lead at the Ligue 1 summit, relegation-threatened Ajaccio battle for survival in a high-stakes clash at Parc des Princes this Saturday night.
Paris Saint Germain
Paris Saint-Germain returned to winning ways last weekend with a 3-1 victory over Troyes. Goals from Kylian Mbappe (8'), Vitinha (59'), and Fabian Ruiz (86') secured the win at Stade de l’Aube.
With this victory, PSG is on the verge of back-to-back wins and currently stands at 78 points. They have achieved 25 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses this season, with four games left to play, including Saturday’s clash with Ajaccio.
The home side is unbeaten in seven Ligue 1 games against Ajaccio (4W, 3D, 0L), aiming to extend this run. Their last defeat to Ajaccio was in May 2005. However, PSG has lost three of their last four home games in Ligue 1.
Last weekend’s win followed Lionel Messi’s two-week suspension for an unauthorized visit to Saudi Arabia. Recent reports suggest PSG has welcomed Messi back into the squad, as he was seen training with the team on Thursday.
It is yet to be confirmed if Christophe Galtier will start Messi this weekend. A 3-5-2 formation with Mbappe and Hugo Ekitiké in attack is anticipated against Ajaccio. Nuno Mendes and Nordi Mukiele are both ruled out for the season.
Ajaccio
Ajaccio [LLDLD] picked up a point last weekend with a goalless draw against Toulouse but dropped one spot down the table to 18th place. They now have only 23 points after 6 wins, 5 draws, and 23 losses.
Ajaccio are 11 points shy of safety and face imminent relegation. Without a win over PSG, they could be relegated from the top flight for the fourth time, having suffered the same fate in 1972/73, 2005/06, and 2013/14.
The visitors finished in 2nd place in Ligue 2 last season, earning promotion to the top flight. However, due to their poor form, they are now just a few games from relegation.
Ajaccio have lost their last six away games in Ligue 1, the longest current run. Manager Olivier Pantaloni may opt for a 5-4-1 formation with Romain Hamouma leading the attack.
Yoann Touzghar remains ruled out following a red card against Brest.
